| Why Macrosoftnet Mail service is slow sometimes? |
| Macrosoftnet only allow upto 384kbps upload or download stream to all the webmail or pop3 users in order for us to accomodate all of our users in our available network bandwidth. During peak hours, it could be less than 384kbps due to more network traffic.Also the distance play vital role no matter whether you are on DSL/Cable or any other faster internet connections. Longer the distance between your location and the mail server location the slower the downloads of your emails from Macrosoftnet’s POP3 mail server to your POP3 client.If you experience slow downloads sometimes using your POP3 client, it is an indication that it is peak hour and network is clogged, we suggest login to webmail at http://www.macrosoftnet.com/webmail at that time to send/receive your email. |
